“Listen well. Stand still without moving. And when one is broken, hold up a new one. Got it?”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
I kicked the board that Hayde was holding.
“Heugh!”
Hayde, startled, drew a big breath and closed his eyes.
But fortunately, he had strength in his hands holding the board, so there was no trouble in showing the demonstration.
“Front kick.”
“Side kick.”
“Back kick.”
I showed Laila the movements, one by one, that I had previously demonstrated, stringing them together this time. I calmly broke the wooden boards one after another.
Hayde’s face turned mournful as he flinched, but he paid the price. He didn’t scream or run away in fear like the maid.
Laila’s eyes began to shine more and more. She seemed to become more interested in the techniques being demonstrated.
“And this is a spinning kick.”
I turned my body and accurately kicked the board Hayde was holding. The shattered board floated in the air with a light and refreshing sound.
“Wow! Ma’am!”
“My goodness, Mother!”
Both Hayde and Laila exclaimed in astonishment. It was a very good reaction.
“……?”
But I was distracted by an afterimage I glimpsed while performing the spinning kick.
Even though it was just a moment, I was sure I saw someone watching from the window.
‘It’s a second floor, isn’t it?’
No matter how I thought about it, it wasn’t a bird. Did I see a ghost?
Staring at the window, Laila cautiously spoke to me.
“Mother? What’s the matter?”
“……Just a moment.”
I decided it would be best to check properly.
I looked out of the window.
Left, right, down.
Outside was sunny, and no one was there.
‘Did I overreact?’
It was logically impossible for someone to be outside the window.
“……?”
But I still felt odd.
‘Could it be…….’
“Mother?”
Laila cautiously called me again.
“Oh, it’s nothing. I thought someone was there, but it must have been an illusion. Shall we continue the lesson?”
I immediately turned my body and looked up at the window.
“……!”
Black hair fluttered in the gentle breeze, and I caught a pair of very surprised violet eyes.
‘Why is he up there?’
It was hard to believe, but Philip was clinging to the rail above the window.
(This is the time separator.)
Philip recalled the first day he had taught Marboro swordsmanship.
He had shown a systematic demonstration to Marboro to show him what level of swordsmanship he would learn.
‘Won’t my wife also systematically show her secret techniques today?’
When he thought so, intense emotions surged like a tidal wave.
‘I want to see!’
He wanted to see Ellen’s demonstration, madly.
But yesterday’s vow weighed on my mind.
‘I had vowed not to run into Ellen for a while.’
That’s when it happened.
“Heyde!”
Ellen’s voice rang out from outside the window.
“Hey! Aren’t you coming right now?”
Philip opened the window. Ellen was leaning slightly out of it.
Dressed in the comfortable outfit I had given her for training, she looked so pure that my heart fluttered once again.
Gardener Heyde hurriedly ran over and came inside.
‘Why is he calling the gardener? Wasn’t I the only one allowed to watch?’
I was dying to see Ellen’s demonstration, but her sudden call for Heyde made Philip’s nerves stand on end.
Pacing frantically around the room, he soon found a solution.
‘I just have to avoid running into her, right?’
Though it felt wrong to watch in secret, I had permission to observe, so Philip rationalized to himself that it was okay.
He immediately jumped out of the window. He pressed himself closely against the railing of Ellen’s secondfloor window, muffling any noise.
He saw Laila’s back.
He didn’t know why she was sitting on her knees.
Heyde was holding a wooden board.
‘Phew. It was a demonstration aid.’
“Front kick.”
Ellen broke the wooden board.
‘……!’
Followed by a side kick and a back kick.
Philip momentarily lost his breath at her stinging kicks.
Her power was weak compared to what Philip could muster, but her elegant and precise movements were too cool.
“This one is a spinning kick.”
Ellen’s foot gracefully traced a circle. Heyde and Laila were thrilled.
Philip felt the same, sending silent cheers as he watched in secret.
However, Philip soon felt like Ellen had caught on to him.
‘Darn!’
Startled, Philip dodged to the upper part of the window.
Sure enough.
Ellen leaned out of the window and looked left, right, and down.
“Mother?”
“Ah, it’s nothing. I thought someone was there, but I must have been mistaken. Shall we resume the lesson?”
Ellen hadn’t noticed.
Philip was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he froze in shock.
“……!”
Ellen suddenly turned her body and looked up at the window.
“……Philip?”
“Ha, haha, my lady. Ahem!”
He couldn’t help but laugh first. Why was Ellen’s expression so adorable?
Ellen’s eyes widened.
“What are you doing there?”
‘I was dying to see the demonstration.’
That was the real answer. But Philip remembered his scrapedtothebottom pride.
“The weather is nice, so I was taking a stroll. And just….”
“On the mansion’s exterior wall?”
“To check the condition of the mansion’s exterior wall as well….”
Philip broke into a cold sweat as he made up this nonsense.
Then one corner of Ellen’s mouth lifted. Her gaze was like that of someone looking at a mischievous child.
“You could fall and die, you know.”
Philip felt heat in his face. He was mortified for the dignity of the count, but he pretended to remain calm.
“I’m fine. I won’t fall.”
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
